Wow! All your threads rant about us "haves" not helping you out with our "extra" money and yet you reveal yourself to be unbelievably selfish with your "extra" time. You have a laptop and a NEW tablet (which, by the way, is something I can't afford) for you to play games on, but no time to get up off your butt and help out in the kitchen. And you are trying to enlighten us about your plight as a homeless person? Way to open hearts and minds. Great job!

Actually, I "found" a new galaxy notetouch tablet 2 weeks ago, lying on a sideway near the abandoned skyscraper tower downtown.. it had a case AND charger!! Online price for this model: 600.00$ I LOVE free!! But, no, I couldn't "afford" one either.. Sometimes its pays to be wandering the sidewalks I guess! HAHA

You chose to use your time selfishly, while not contributing to society. Just remember, everything you get, "the haves" are giving it to you, by way of THEIR tax dollars, THEIR donations to charity, and volunteering THEIR time, so you can survive fairly "comfortably." You also take, by illegal trespass, as you sleep in a storage warehouse, and jump turnstiles for yet another free ride. It is rather foolish for you to be hating the haves, when you choose take/steal, while giving nothing in return.

So I suppose sleeping on a sidewalk would be better right? Even though I hurt no one and damage nothing by sleeping in a building that is closed at night? Haha.. Im SURE someone like you would LOVE to see MORE homeless poor bums on sidewalks instead of out of site in abandoned buildings, etc...
As far as "selfishness' goes, why should I contribute anything to a society as immoral and ungiving as this one? Where it seems fair for one rich person to eat steak every night, and live in a glamourous condo, and someone else who didn't have the same "opportunities" sleep on a sidewalk, starve, freeze, and sweat to death? In our society, you consider that "fair"!! Well, I for one don't.. Its heartless, greedy, and cruel.. Why why would this same society deserve ANY contributions from the homeless or unfortunate poor? Until things change for the better, the only contribution I will make is existing, and seeing what I can get from all you lucky "have's"...

I would say this is the most idiotic thing you've said thus far, but that would be a lie.

Please **** off already. Your act is old and no longer amusing.

How would volunteering in a soup kitchen be helping the haves, we eat steak every night, remember?

Yep, sounds like you've become very comfortable playing the "victim" card your whole life. Poor you.

Meanwhile, while you were busy bitching about how unfair everything is for you, I busted my ass and focused in school. I pushed myself through an additional eight years of education past high school. I could have quit when it wasn't easy, but I didn't. I took out the debt, and I paid it back. Now I work a job, and I work hard. It hasn't been easy. I've been pink-slipped, acquired, reallocated, you name it. I've continued to invest in myself along the way. I put my effort in, and I earn my keep by taking responsibility for results and delivering on them. And I get paid well for it.

Oh, and my parents came to this country as political refugees with nothing other than two suitcases and two small kids. My dad spent nine months cleaning toilets in an immigration camp in Austria before we even figured out who would take us as political refugees. We slept on the floor before there was money for furniture. And yet they turned out a good life for themselves through hard work and raised two kids who did the same.

None of this was handed to me. I earned it, and I continue to earn it.

So you keep flogging that dead horse of unfairness and do nothing to even attempt to better your situation. I'll keep doing what I do and ensure as best as I can that as little of my hard-earned money as possible goes to moochers like you.

California is going through its worst drought ever. Water will become even more expensive, so your joke isn't one. Clean air? It's a city, for gosh sakes. I live here and find the air to be anything but "clean." Exhaust from the buses is a killer. And since we're in a drought, no more washing the urine and excrement off the sidewalks.

San Francisco's median home price is almost $1.1 million; it is the most expensive city in the country overall. Where will you eat? What makes you think you can"hide"? The homeless shelters boot people out at 6:00 am. What do you plan on doing all day to "kill" the time? What if you need medical care? What if you are a victim of a crime? Downtown San Francisco is full of young professional techies, stuffy bankers, lawyers, judges, state and county employees, etc., along with a healthy tourist trade. Appears to me, since I have worked in the Financial District for years, that the majority of the street people have mental and drug issues. Not exactly your types, eh?

Sounds like you should move to a socialist country where everyone shares everything, with no incentive to improve one's lot in life.

Anyway, kudos for your originality, "prof." You are quite amusing. I have wondered for years why San Francisco has a homeless problem. Now I know. Thanks for putting a smiley face to it.

There aren't very many of those left. Maybe Cuba would take him.
